[QUOTE]Originally posted by mpaulshore: [QB] Mr. Norman: May I ask why you emphasize the Heinz Breakfast Syrup by putting it in all caps, and then add the shout-out to me and Mr. Resor? Is that your way of saying "I'm a philistine and proud of it!"? Whenever I go on one of my trips from Washington, D.C. to Denver or the reverse, I bring along two unopened 12-ounce bottles of real maple syrup. At each breakfast I put one of the unopened bottles on the table, and let my tablemates know that any of them who'd like to have some also are welcome. I usually buy a supermarket house brand so that my tablemates will find the familiar name--e.g., "Safeway"--reassuring. The 12-ounce size is good because it's not too obtrusive to carry around and there won't be an excessive amount left to finish up at home; at the same time, it's big enough so that my tablemates won't feel inhibited from serving themselves as much as they want. I bring an [i]unopened[/i] bottle so that there'll be no question about the freshness and cleanliness of the contents. My bringing of maple syrup is almost always appreciated, and often serves as a good conversation-starter as well. When I eat Amtrak's Railroad French Toast with real maple syrup on top, I have no complaints. Amtrak is foolish not to offer real maple syrup--perhaps in little glass jars such as I saw on my VIA trips in 1989 and 1990--as an extra-cost breakfast item. It would be a way to meet the desires of passengers of refined taste, bring out the true quality of the Railroad French Toast (and the occasional waffle special), and make a little money besides.
